Groups have been deserving an update for a long while. There's no other site that has them like B.net, and they are where alot of people lurk. Infact, some people only post in private groups. I run a few groups so here's some ideas how they could be improved. They are not necessary, but these are thing I would like:
Stats: Wouldn't it be nice to track peoples stats in groups? Things like post count, ppd, length of time around, and other stuff? People are willing to make sites that display the stats, but are unable. If Bungie did something like the Reach Stats API, people could make this possible.
Rank Color: Make it so each rank can have an assigned title bar color and text. No images for the title bar since that could be abused. This would make it easier to distinguish members ranks.
Multiple Forums: Ive seen this idea before, and alot of people dont like it. However, I say make it so a group can have up to 3 forums. Start with one, unlock another at 250-500 members, and then a third at 500-1000 members. You can give each a nickname that appears up top.
Message all users: Yes, yes, this could easily be abused. However, put extreme security stuff on it. Only users with the main admin rank can use it, it can only be used 2 or 3 times a month, and if you abuse it mods can revoke the power.
Block Users: If you remove someone, and they keep rejoining, you should be able to block them from the group. This should work if you have open or closed groups.
Toggle Filter & Post limit: Make it so you can toggle the spam filter on and off. With the profanity filter, make it so you can choose what words you want censored, and what you want to replace them with. -potato!-
These are all the ones off the top of my head. If anyone else have ideas, post them below and if they're good ill add them to the OP.
Updated
Bans & Warning Upgrades: Make it so you can actually warn members. Also make they system remember any offense a user was banned or warned for in the group.
Game Integration: If Bungie games support anything like clans in Halo 2, make it so you can see your group while online and check to see whos on.
Searchbar: Searching for a specific thread can be a great pain. A search bar would make it easy and quick to find past threads.
